Thread: Good games for Nintendo DS

... anyone here got tips ?

so far, a large chunk of my time have been spent on Pokemon Diamond and Yugioh 07/08 (both for nostalgia reasons), and Phoenix Wright (1st and halfway through 2nd). i also got Bomberman, Mario Kart, Mario Party for DS party purposes.

what are good games to play on DS ? i'm told that there aren't any astoundingly good games on DS (yet)

I haven't found any games that I had trouble putting down yet either. The game I probably liked the most was Pokemon Diamond, other than that none.

I've heard that Zelda Phantom Hourglass was good.

brain age.

Final Fantasy III if you feel masochistic. That game will make you want to kill yourself, cast a Phoenix Down, and do it all over again.

@haganenochibisan and mojo

i heard zelda was way too easy to be fun

@deuce

i'm actually considering it. gaming to improve mental health ? no wai !

@steal

nah, i'm looking for more fun more than time-consuming. my room-mate already told me horror stories about that game

@dascu

yes, but which of those would you like to the point of considering buying it ? i've tried a bit of tetris, trauma centre and elite beat, and wasn't really too enamoured with them. i mean, i like tetris - but i already play a cooler multiplayer version of that elsewhere.

@atrium

y'know, i did say i dumped many hours into pokemanz already

At an attempt of giving me a nickname, you spelled it wrong. There is no 'i' in Atrum. You wrote Atrium.

Anyways, you could do what I do when I get bored with it.

Start the game over!

Honestly, Geometry Wars and Contra 4 are the only games I play now that I see worth buying/playing for hours. Though Geometry Wars has some slow downs when things get too heck tick it's still fun, and Contra is loads more fun multiplayer. All the other games that were listed I've stopped playing long time ago.

BTW, it's proven that the whole brain age thing is false, it's still a fun game though and is worth the few bucks that it costs.
